Mochinut- National City

LOVE IT HERE is an understatement!We got this garlic Mayo, literal flavor bomb! Sounds gross but it was out of this world, not what I expected.The mochi donuts were delicious as well. You cannot go wrong.

We loved these. The mochi doughnut was so soft and gooey. We were served very quickly. The Thai tea was a cool flavor I enjoyed. The place had a cool lounge area.

It was my first time at a Mochinut which was recommended by my friends. I didn't realize how many of these locations have closed in SD. There's really nothing memorable about this place. It's your typical little Asian snack cafe with no frills. The place seemed quiet and unexciting, which was also accompanied by the lackluster donut flavors they had to offer. My friends enjoyed the Korean hotdogs, but it took 40 minutes for them to prepare it. I can see why a lot of these places are closing down, unfortunately :(

Terrible service. Like appallingly bad. I had Roel help me. He was less than thrilled to be there. Everything I said was met with attitude. I was there to purchase a dozen for my brother's birthday. Naturally he wanted different flavors. When I expressed I'd be hand picking them rather than doing two of each, Roel was none too thrilled. While paying, I asked if I could use the restroom. I saw the door, but it had a lock code on it. He didn't reply. Assuming he didn't hear me, I asked again. He just looked at me and walked to the back. Um, okay. Then when he came back, he finally replied. Bathroom didn't have running water. Cool. Then, when I came back out, I went to sit at a table and wait. He said, "there's your order," without looking at me, acknowledging me, anything. I don't care for small talk or pleasantries when I'm picking up an order. In fact, I prefer no small talk. I definitely don't expect a red carpet to be rolled out in my honor, but a little bit of human decency goes a long way. Responding when asked a question is my idea of common decency. Roel's facial expressions and can't-be-bothered attitude really made the whole experience awful. Please save your time and go to a different location! It will spare you the awful taste left after interacting with someone so unpleasant. I am a paying customer and 7 months pregnant, letting me know the bathroom is open for public use shouldn't be like pulling teeth. The only reason this has more than a star is the donuts themselves.

It's nice to see a Mochinut open up here in National City! It's refreshing to see a new dessert/ snack shop in the area that is not just boba! They had many donuts readily available and we decided on a dozen to try new flavors.Avocado (3/5): Green icing and a white chocolate chip on top. This one was a little strange but it didn't have any hint of avocado. It wasn't bad but this flavor definitely got our attention to try it!Oreo (4/5): I love a cookies and cream flavor so this one was going to be sweet but paired with the chewy fried dough it was like eating a fried Oreo.Churro (3/5): Looks and tastes like a churro! I wouldn't my really go for this one but we chose this for more variety.Strawberry Funnel Cake (5/5): My favorite out of all of them. Resembles an actual funnel cake with the powdered sugar and strawberry syrup! It wasn't t doing too much and wasn't overly sweet either.

I've been thinking about a Korean hot dog since I had it at the Encinitas Mochinut location 4 days ago. I was excited to see a Mochinut had opened close by however I noticed the prices here are higher than at the other Mochinut locations. I got the Ube Coffee ($6.25) and a Hot Cheetos Mozzarella hot dog ($6.50). The drink consisted of so much ice, it was decent. At the Encinitas location the other day, I had a Hot Cheetos Cheddar hot dog for $5.25 (they didn't have the cheddar cheese filling option at this location)... that's $1.25 more here! Also the customer service here was dull; it wasn't bad but it wasn't the best.

Yummy yum! Love the texture of these donuts. Two of my faves in one! The sweetness is pefect not overpowering. My all time fave is the cinnamon churro. We also got the brown sugar boba drink and it reminded me a lot of an ice cream I ate often growing up. felt nostalgic drinking it.

Currently, obsessed with these donuts and their texture. My favorite is the funnel cake one especially because it's covered with powdered sugar and topped of with a strawberry sauce. I love the diversity mochinut offers in flavors. This was my second time trying these hotdogs and they definitely wowed me. My first experience wasn't the best, so I was a little skeptical. The young man who helped me was an amazing help as he answered all my questions without hesitation. He even provided me with his recommendation with the sauce selection. I was a big fan of the hot Cheeto half & half hot dog, which is half mozzarella & half sausage. The potato hot dog was so delicious.The ambiance of the place was very chill and clean. They had a little area with a couch and plants were I waited for my hot dogs as those take a little longer to make. You get your donuts instantly!

I came here because I have been wanting to try the donuts. We got the 3 flavor box. The funnel cake, banana milk and churro. I wish they had more than the 6 flavors they had. But those 3 flavors we got were all so good! The churro one was my favorite. The donut is fluffy and so soft. My mom that doesn't really like sweets even enjoyed the donut I got her. We will definitely get them again hopefully more are opening near the inland empire.

Came by while waiting on my ride at the Firestone down the road. Mochi donuts are EXPENSIVE. I get it they probably use different ingredients that make these more pricey. But 2 of these after tip were about $8. They also are an acquired taste. Sticky texture. I thought for the most part they were good. I've tried the ones in Mira Mesa so I knew what to expect. I am interested in trying their iced drinks at some point.
